This is why spanking is not cruel. If you don’t discipline children, they will get disciplined by someone who cares less for their saftey.
This shit head’s rap sheet goes back twenty years. Folks in the hood yo KNEW what this asswipe was all about and he was still walking around ~ free as free could be.
Almost makes me wonder what kind of protection this waste of humanity had. It should’ve been taken care of a long, long time ago that is if the services it rendered justified its continued existance.
The cops are ’stunned’. Jesus wept. For ever and a day the dregs of humanity have “employed” those that are under age since the court systems go easier on them. Not only due to their tender age, but the added mitigating factor that one so young may not have any ‘priors’.
Priscilla Williams, the boy’s mother, said her son was “still kind of afraid for his life” despite Bligen’s arrest. Still “kind of” afraid…is that like being “kind of” pregnant, or “kind of” being an adult that is responsible for their offspring?
Good thing for the kid he has a gramma that cares.
When he skipped out to play with friends, his boss punished him viciously.
His boss, police say, was a drug dealer who had the boy peddling drugs on a street corner. When the boy left his post, the man burned the youngster’s face with cigarettes - more than 50 times in one week. He also burned the boy’s shoulders and lower back, police said.
On Wednesday, St. Petersburg police arrested Robert Bligen, 46, on a charge of aggravated child abuse. Police say he may have employed other children and abused them as well. Bligen was being held at the Pinellas County Jail on $50,000 bail.
Bligen has a criminal record in Florida that reaches back more than 20 years and includes several arrests on drug-related charges.
Priscilla Williams, the boy’s mother, said her son was “still kind of afraid for his life” despite Bligen’s arrest.
She said Bligen abused other children in the neighborhood, but many remain too scared to tell their parents: “They think their child was in a fight, and this man was beating up on them.”
Neighbors described Bligen as an odd man who wandered the streets mumbling to himself. They say he didn’t like people and would cross over to the other side of the street if someone approached him.
